UMUR
"The Day before Tomorrow...." is the fifth demo recording by Dutch thrash/death metal act Thanatos. The demo was independently released in November 1987. It follows the release of the July 1987 "Official Live Tape 1987" live album.

If you´re familiar with the preceding live album the music style on "The Day before Tomorrow...." won´t come as a surprise (all three tracks from the demo also appeared on the live album). It´s early Kreator influenced thrash metal performed by a very well playing band. The performances are tight, aggressive, and nicely fast-paced, while lead vocalist/guitarist Stephan Gebédy snarls his way through the demo with his raw and aggressive voice and delivery.

Personally I think I prefer the more savage live versions of these tracks featured on the "Official Live Tape 1987" live album, but these versions are also worth a listen. The sound production is a professional demo quality production and it´s both raw and clear enough to hear all instruments and vocals. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
